Aaaa. Did not know that this is accepted but was always annoyed to wrap 
this way, thanks :)

Do you mean that we create groups only for PCI devices? Well, moving groups 
creation where the actual powerpc groups are allocated (pci scan) is 
problematic right now as iommu_init() is called too late.

I would think that passing through "as is" as much as possible is the best 
thing here as the aim is KVM. May be one day we will implement H_PUT_TCE in 
the kernel, so splitting H_PUT_TCE to map+unmap and then combining it back 
in the kernel (because we will have H_PUT_TCE handler) is a bit ugly.

Do not you have to map entire RAM to PCI bus? You use listener which 
purpose is not very clear. This is an extra knowledge beyond qemu-to-host 
interface which the user space program should know.

Example of such a driver? My imagination is weak :)
